  • Buffalo Portrait Photography | Cami Senior Portrait Session | Theater District & Allentown

    September 24, 2016

    I had the most lovely shoot with Cami for her senior portraits! We started in the Theater District before heading over to Allentown for her stylish city session. She’s fashionable, fun, and was open to all of my crazy ideas. So, this session might just be an all-time favorite 🙂 I love shooting creative senior…

  • Buffalo Family Portraits | Everett, Tommy, Kim & Steve | Backyard Lifestyle Session

    September 16, 2016

    So excited to share some favorites from my lifestyle family session with Everett, Tommy & their parents! I do not offer traditional family portraits in a studio, but rather lifestyle shots, blending poses and play, on-location or in your home! I love at-home family sessions for so many reasons; the kids love to show…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Amanda & Matt | The Avanti Mansion, City Hall, Forest Lawn, Cantina Loco

    September 13, 2016

    Get ready for lots of laughter, pineapples, Bills gear, tequila shots, and so much more! We loved being invited to capture Amanda & Matt’s story. They had a sweet ceremony, at the same church, with the same priest that married Amanda’s parents. How special is that?! Afterwards, we headed to City Hall, and Forest…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Sarah & Ryan | The Pearl at the Webb, Silo City, Hotel Lafayette, City Hall

    September 12, 2016

    I can barely contain my excitement as I upload Sarah & Ryan’s images! This day was just flawless, all-around. I had Colin Gordon along for the ride as second photographer, the weather was sunny, the locations they chose for photos were perfect, the bridal party was so animated and fun, all of the elements of that…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Sammi & Brady | Marcy Casino & Delaware Park Rose Garden

    September 8, 2016

    When Sammi reached out to me about her unique wedding, I was thrilled! Everything she wanted to do was unconventional, and I couldn’t wait to see how it came together. She & Brady focused on planning a day that was true reflection of who they are as a couple; low-key, fun, surprising! They held…

☀️ JUNE ☀️

Hi, hi! Join me as I commit to a full month of : 
✨ Keeping a camera on me (no client work allowed for this!)
✨ Developing a joyful workflow of reviewing images
✨ Posting that day’s favs, every night, without overthinking the ideal timing/aesthetic of the grid/feeling forced into trends/remembering holidays/the caption/getting overwhelmed & moving on 🤣

This is a practice I haven’t done in years & it’s time 😘 Tag along?

Have you ever been to the Allegany Nature Pilgrima
Have you ever been to the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage? 🌿 It’s one of my favorite annual events 🤩 Naturalists, hikers, herbalists, birders & all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts gather at the park for a whole weekend’s worth of unique programming! 

Typically, I plot out adventurous activities, but this year I opted for a more restorative schedule ✌️ I spent my Saturday doing fireside yoga, forest-bathing with a group of lovely ladies, learning about homeopathy, relaxing with some watercolors, enjoying a mushroom hike & trying basic orienteering! 🥾🌲 

There are dozens upon dozens of other activities to choose from at this family-friendly & affordable event. Will I see you there next year?!

Fellow Creatives : How do you stay inspired? 🤔 

I have daily practices in place, but I think quarterly art-filled-mini-roadtrips are the real secret 🤩🤩🤩 My 36 hour whirlwind May getaway to PGH did the trick! 😍 After time at some of my favorite galleries, real good eats, a candlelit art-making session, a night of jazz poetry & lots of long, aimless walks with my camera, I have so many soon-to-be projects swirling around 🎉

Year Ten of this city for me & still haven’t seen it all; anything I should add to my list for next time?!
